Predation in Vertebrate Communities

"Predation in Vertebrate Communities" is a scholarly book that explores the complex interactions between predators and their prey in various habitats. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of predation in nature and examines how these interactions affect the populations of prey species such as ungulates, rodents, birds, and amphibians. The book is based on years of research conducted in the best-preserved forests of the temperate zone of Europe and highlights the biotic and abiotic factors that influence the interplay between predators and prey. The authors, Bogumila Jedrzejewska and Wlodzimierz Jedrzejewski, quantify the impacts of predation and compare them with other influencing factors such as climate and food resources. This work is a valuable resource for ecologists and biologists interested in the dynamics of animal communities and the role of predation.
